Which is fundamentally different from previous years. It was very difficult for a top team alone to outgun an entire alliance at least in the last 3 years, and even impossible last year if the alliance had competent robots. This year a top team will "win" the match so long as the bot doesn't drop a stack.
And what's worse is that with all of the anticipation for Einstein, the competition may be decided in the first second and all of the amazing stacking power of 1114/254 will be for naught.
That's why this year's game "sucks." (And yes, I agree with my fellow mentor on this point.)
